Legendary couturier Christóbal Balenciaga is undoubtedly one of fashion's most important figures. A legend in his own lifetime and a contemporary of fashion greats Chanel and Dior, the latter describing Balenciaga as "the master of us all". Famous for his bubble shapes and oddly shaped ultramodern cuts, his groundbreaking manipulation of the waistline culminated in a new silhouette and defined a generation's style in the swinging sixties.
Under Nicolas Ghesquière the atelier has once again become the darling of the fashion press with Balenciaga handbags leading the way in covetable arm candy.
Balenciaga was the king of dissymmetry, the perfect geometrician, his unflinching perfectionism has been recreated and modernised under Ghesquière's creative direction.
"Women did not have to be perfect or even beautiful to wear his clothes. His clothes made them beautiful".
In November 2012 it was announced that Alexander Wang would replace Nicolas Ghesquière as next creative director of Balenciaga.

Utility planners depend on an accurate estimate of normal weather to forecast resource needs and costs. But as the climate changes, so must the definition of 'normal.'
Cali Gets it Right
Not your father's feed-in tariff.
Solar supporters agree that solar electricity—particularly photovoltaic (PV) technology—has the potential to make a tremendous impact on our nation's energy mix. The disagreement comes when you ask how best to create policies to maximize that impact.
The optimum policy will achieve a number of objectives, including: drive demand for fast development and construction of projects, use public and rate payer funds as efficiently as possible, set appropriate incentive levels, and result in solar being located where it makes the most sense.
So far, no subsidy program or policy worldwide has gotten better than mixed marks in all of these areas. However, regulators in California may be close to cracking the code. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recently approved what's known as the RAM (reverse auction mechanism) program, which mandates that utilities procure 1,000 MW of distributed solar generation. While this program has yet to prove a success, its design makes it the first large-scale solar program that has the potential to effectively accomplish virtually all of the major policy objectives.
Lessons from Europe
California borrows elements from feed-in-tariff (FiT) programs that have been used in Europe and Ontario. Such programs give developers a financeable 20-year cash flow, which is critical to attracting the investment dollars required to rapidly deploy solar energy systems. In these programs, a developer will sign a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the utility company. This gives a project investor a credit-worthy counter party and eliminates market risk, such as the price of energy or tradable credits (renewable energy credit, carbon credits, etc.). Furthermore, these programs encourage developers to locate systems in the most cost-effective locations, by paying based on performance and disaggregating the cash flow from the customer's retail energy price—a problem with the net-metering system most commonly employed in the United States. Essentially, California's program implements elements from Germany's program while modifying the allocation method to improve on its shortcomings.
One of the key innovations of California's proposed program is the use of the reverse auction as a procurement mechanism. This appears to be the first large-scale use of this procurement mechanism for distributed generation. Virtually all other solar FiT type programs (both in North America and Europe) make use of a fixed subsidy-level allocation with a date-based trigger. In a date-based trigger, developers are guaranteed to receive a subsidy at a given level if they are able to complete their projects by a specified date. The mechanism gives developers a clear deadline to meet project milestones and qualify for a guaranteed subsidy level, and also has the advantage of not allowing developers to act like squatters, which reserve allocations only to sit on them and wait until conditions allow a project to move forward—a prevalent problem in previous evolutions of California solar programs.
However, the big problem with the date-based trigger is that it requires that policy makers correctly predict a workable subsidy level. If the level isn't set correctly,

McIlroy, David H. (2010) 'Idols and Grace: Re-envisioning Political Liberalism as Political Limitism.' Political Theology, 11 (2). pp. 205-225.
An Augustinian analysis of the current version of political liberalism which is increasingly dominating Western politics recognises it as idolatrous. Nonetheless, there are key Christian insights that political power is to be limited and that the polis is not the most important society which can be described as 'political limitism'. Christian political limitism sees human politics as tending to idolatry but nonetheless sustained by God's grace as God gives people time to respond to God and to re-order their disordered loves in relation to Godself, the supreme good. Christian political limitism can be translated into a form of open liberalism, in which liberalism is recognised to be a pragmatic, limited, political vision rather than a self-contained and self-generating source of values.

In a land of plenty
Once upon a time, in a remote part of the Indian subcontinent,
there lived a tribe of people called the Tonas. The Tonas were
farmers and worked hard in the fields. Their hard work yielded
them rich rewards in the form of abundant grain and they were
soon prosperous. But with prosperity came misfortune.
The Tonas became arrogant, extravagant and wasteful. They forgot
what it was to be hungry and most of them had never heard of
starvation. There was enough and more and they could not
understand that extravagance and wastage was wrong. They could
have shared their good fortune with their not-so-prosperous
neighbours but they did not think of it. The Tonas cooked more
than was needed and the waste bins were overflowing with rotting,
discarded food.
God was incensed at the wasteful ways of the Tonas and sent a
curse upon their land. Bahubal, the spirit of strength hiding in
every sheaf of grain, every plate of rice and every glass of
milk, was asked to leave the land. Thereafter, the Tonas began to
lose their strength. Their muscles became soft and flabby and
they grew weaker. However much they ate they gained no strength
or nourishment from their food. It was as if they were living on
bran and chaff.
Their neighbours sensed that something was wrong with the Tonas
and made preparations for war. The Tonas were too weak to even
defend their land. In their weakened state all that they could do
was to pray. They prayed and finally God spoke to them. He told
them that they were being punished for their wasteful ways. The
Tonas promised never again to waste either food or water. God
relented and sent Bahubal back to their land but with a warning.
Bahubal would hide in the last morsel of food and the last sip of
drink and if even a wee bit of food was wasted, they would have
to face the consequences.
Bahubal played hide and seek in the food of the Tonas. He would
hide himself in the last sip of drink. People learnt to take just
what they needed; just what they could eat. They did not waste a
crumb of bread or a grain of rice. Children too learnt not to
waste. The Tonas began to share their food. God was pleased and
prosperity returned to the land of the Tonas and there was
happiness all around.
The descendents of the Tonas do not waste food even today. One of
the earliest things children are taught is that food is a
blessing as there are many who go to bed hungry every day. The
Tonas had learnt a lesson they would not easily forget.

Congregation of several of this species at a gravel pit area where soil & rock had been excavated for road construction.
This looks very similar to a species I photographed in Rwanda. One of the experts told me it's one of the Admirals - Antanartia sp. possibly A. schaensis. I've tried to add the ID but the finder can't seem to find a species like that. Hope this helps in the right direction.
Here's a link to my photo on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcell_claassen/3271090319/in/set-72157624451669941/
Coincidentally, I was just reminded of the similarities that this butterfly shares with an Admiral species that I observed in the US a year ago, and that was recently IDed on iNaturalist: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/19389
Many thanks Marcel for starting me on the right track. An annotated list of Bioko butterflies is locked up on JStor, but I also found the work of Evan Weyland, who I would bet was a student or collaborator of the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program. Weyland lists two Antanartias from his surveys, and that A. dimorphica was only found in the montane site (same as this observation). Quick Google image search supports an A. dimorphica ID. Would love to confirm it with the Bioko list publication, but this ID should be pretty close.

Lake Lappajarvi is different from most other lakes in Finland. The depression the lake lies in is actually a meteorite crater! An estimated 73 million years ago, a large meteorite hit the earth in Western Finland, creating a massive dent in the earth. The intervening millions of years have worn down the edges of the crater and filled it in a bit, but geological evidence of the meteor is still found in the local rocks structurally changed by the intense heat. Water draining from the surrounding areas gradually filled the crater, creating Lake Lappajarvi. Fed by several small streams, the lake's main outlet is the Ahtavanjoki River which empties into the Gulf of Bothnia. Several water control structures on the river keep water levels stable on the lake, and they provide hydroelectric power to the local population. To the untrained eye, the lake doesn't look much different than the hundreds of other lakes in Finland. Scientists find it a fascinating subject of study, however.
Despite its unusual origins, Lake Lappajarvi has played the same role in the lives of the local population that other Finnish lakes do. The surrounding countryside is used for farming vegetables, raising dairy cows and fur farming. The lake is still producing fish and is used as a production source for some commercial fishing which harvests smaller whitefish for the restaurant trade. The lake also supports a healthy population of brown trout, perch, pike, zander, burbot, breem and pike-perch, making it a prime location for family vacations. Several public boat launch sites around the shoreline make it convenient for fisher-folk to launch their own boats. Fishing licenses and restricted area maps will be needed.
Lake Lappajarvi isn't highly developed as a center for tourism, although it is growing more popular as a destination. In keeping with the Finnish penchant for exercise, most boat traffic on the lake is of the kind that is rowed or paddled. A small cruise ship docked at the City of Lappajarvi takes groups of passengers sight-seeing around the large lake on a regular schedule during the summer months.
Another type of boating experience that is popular with visitors is the 'church boat' where passengers do the rowing. These remnants of early Finnish history are thought to be the predecessors of the Scandinavian Viking boats, and were built on shares by local farmers to carry them in neighborhood groups to church on Sundays. Legend says they would race their boats on the way home. Now they are raced competitively for sport and as a group activity. And some church boats in the area still carry residents to church as a beloved tradition. Arrangements for church boat rides can be arranged in the main town of Lappajarvi. Canoeing, kayaking and rowing are popular uses of the wide expanse of water. Motors are permitted but not used extensively except for travel to another area of the large lake. Boating maps are available for the 'boat trails' and should be consulted because there are some places where local regulation contradicts universal boating navigation rules due to conditions.
Swimming is a popular sport at Lake Lappajarvi; the lake is relatively shallow compared to many Finnish lakes and the water warms nicely. However, because the Finns are the originators of several extreme sport practices, winter doesn't stop swimming in the lake. The town of Lappajarvi has nine public summer beaches, and three that are kept open as Ice Swimming beaches. Swimmers usually do not go under the ice at the edge of the open swim area without a safety rope as it is easy to become disoriented and not be able find the opening to return to the surface.
Over a thousand family cottages and cabins, many owned by foreign vacationers, grace the well-treed shoreline. Many native Finns maintain a lake cabin as well as a home in nearby towns. Every cabin has a sauna - as necessary in a Finnish cabin as a stove. One hotel at Lappajarvi is noted for their spa and sauna facilities; even the locals come here to take advantage of the amenities and to eat in the fine restaurant featuring locally-produced foods.
Lappajarvi is the largest town on the lake, although there are a number of smaller settlements. Located at the outlet to the Ahtavanjoki River, Lappajarvi offers the most in the way of attractions and services to visitors and local residents alike. The city expands onto the adjoining island, Karna, which can be reached by a short bridge.
Lappajarvi has a number of historic churches and buildings that predate the many wars fought in the last two centuries. The Lappajarvi Museum exhibits local weaving and textile traditions, as well as fishing and log floating displays such as once occurred on the lake. The area has been noted for its fine rug-making industry and many shops sell the rugs, stone and wood carvings, clay and wool souvenirs and even finely-crafted traditional boats. The Tapolanvuori observation tower provides a great view of the lake and surrounding countryside. The city offers sports centers, cross-country ski trails, walking and riding trails, riding stables, skating and hockey rinks, indoor and outdoor fitness centers and pools. A nearby 18-hole golf course has a one-of-a-kind water hazard: a paddle boat stands by to take golfers from one fairway to another!
Lappajarvi is also the home of Finnish baseball . . .a game similar to American baseball but with completely different rules. The five 'outs' rather than three determine the nine innings. The 'pitcher' does not stand in front of the batter but tosses the ball in from the side. And bases are run in a cris-cross pattern instead of the familiar diamond progression. The game is thoroughly confusing to the Western visitor but very popular in Finland, where league tournaments occasion nearly every shop in the area to close to watch the game.
The friendly people at Lake Lappajarvi would love to welcome you to their lake. Guest houses, cottages and cabins can always be found for rent. Other lodgings can be arranged at the hotel/spa, or farm-stays in the area. Real estate can often be found in the form of existing cabins for sale. Won't you come to visit Lake Lappajarvi? You'll find, meteor or not, it really is out of this world!

There are various age limits for retirement of college and university teachers in different states. Some in Madhya Pradesh retire at 62 and some in West Bengal at 60 only. In Kerala and other states it is much less. But in central universities teachers can do their job till they are 65. VCs can work till 70. Why should the College and University teachers retire at 60? Should it not be the same for all teachers - be it at the Centre or in states?

New Delhi: Senior Revenue Department officials, including those retired, on Tuesday gave a presentation to the Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on the problem areas in the Draft Direct Taxes Code such as proposals on tax on savings and doing away with tax rebate on home loans.
The other problem areas in the draft Direct Taxes Code -- that will replace the age-old Income Tax Act--include the issues relating to the Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) and taxation of foreign companies, sources said.
The meeting was also attended by members of the Central Board of Direct Taxes and other tax department officials.
The Draft Tax Code proposes to tax all savings schemes at the time of withdrawal by the subscriber, as against the current practice of exempting withdrawals in long-term saving schemes like Employees Provident Fund, General Provident Fund and Public Provident Fund.
However, the code is silent on the existing practice of giving tax rebate on housing loans, which many interpret as the proposal to do away with these tax concessions.
It also proposes imposing MAT on gross assets of the company rather than profits, and higher taxation on foreign companies.
Mukherjee had earlier given assurances that grievances related to the draft direct tax code would be addressed before a bill is tabled in Parliament.

Remote Monitors for Brushtrucks
We are thinking about getting a remote monitor for the front of our 6x6 2 1/2 ton brushtruck 1,000gallon tank and 125gpm pump. Mostly to asist when were short firefighters and to knock down the fire line fast. This is a very expensive item for us, we are a very small rural dept. we only have 6 fire fighters. Would like to know pros and cons from people who have actual used them, and how do you protect them. We take our 6x6 almost anyway, through brush, bushes, forrests etc. Thanks for you help.

We have one on our tanker (3200 gal) and use it from the road quite effectively, especially with foam. Hopes are that we can do one on our next brush truck so we can take it into the fields. That should be and Ops & Safety request as equipment.
How long have you had the 6x6 and was it in good mechanical condition when you acquired it?? We're considering the FEPP approach, but some of the veterans are gun-shy from experiences with a late '50's version. Nothing major--just little stuff like having to steer by feathering the throttle and brakes that woked sometimes regardless of whether the pedal was depressed!! Some people have no sense of adventure.

I have nothing but great things to say about our 6x6's. We have two one is the brushtruck already mentioned the other is a 5 ton 6x6 2,000 tanker. We get ours through Arkansas Forestry Commission. They have a program that we can get the chassis on permment loan as long as we follow some basic rules. 1) must be under cover. 2) must be painted red,white, yellow. 3) county must cover insurance. If anything major goes wrong tranny, engine, etc then we can trade is in for another one. Minor problems and normal maintenance we cover. Most are from the late 60's ours are 67' and 68'. and the only problem we have ever had was dead battries once in a while, but we solve that with good quality trickle chargers. We had a 6x6 tanker from another dept that we were going to take the tank off but changed our minds and gave it to another dept, but it sat for a year and was never touched not even started. All we did was recharge the battery and it fired right up. As for parts we can get some from returned 6x6 chassis's at Arkansas foresrty yard, and theres a great place in Memphis tenn. called Memphis Equipement. http://www.memphisequipment.com/ they deal in 6x6's and is great for parts. But like I said, we have never had a reason to get parts and we have had our brush truck for 7 yrs now, and we certainly don;t baby it. We didn't even pay for the paint job, we did it our selves becuase it will get scratched up on the first fire anyway, so why spend the extra money.
Most of the towns on Long Island New York using 6x6's and call them stumpjumpers and have them specially rigged up with lots of roll bars and brush guards. But over all I would very highly recommend them. The 2 1/2 tons can safely hold 1,250 gallons off road but I recommend no more then a 750 or 1,000 gallons for more reserve engine power off road. But thats alot more water then a 200 or 300 gallons of smaller rigs. The 5 ton can carry 2,000 safely but for heavy wildland firefighting I would stay under 1,500, and keep the tank centered and low profile. Thats 5 times the water of smaller units and trust me 5 times more power. Our brushtruck has 750 tank, a high pressure 125 gpm darley pump. 200ft 1" hard line reel, 300 ft 1 1/2 hose. and 700ft of 1" forestry hose with shut offs so we can stretch extra 1" hose with only turning off the closest shut off and not have to shut it off at the truck. ( at great system)and were putting on Foaom Pro 1600 injection foam in about 2 weeks. Several fire dept in my area have them and love them. Sorry to carry on so much but we really love our 6x6's. Any questions email me would be glad to help you out.
I put this whole thread in the wrong forum and im going to try to move it to vol or wildland.

If your're putting 1000gal on a duece or 2000gal on a 5t your exceeding the recommended (safe) off road capacity.
5t is rated at 10000lb off road (go anywhere you have traction (or don't roll it)), 20000lb on road. For military that is 1200gal of fuel (@6.2lb/gal). So 5t smart load is around 1200gal. Yes can haul much much larger load but be smart and make the truck last.
Everything you could want to know about conversion is at http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/
At present DOD (FEPP) has a large vol of M813 series 5t available (1970s mfg) many will have been reman. There are still some M52 series coming thru the system. If you take time/shop you can find USMC M813 that were reman in the 1990s and converted to supersingles w/dropside bed etc. The Marines don't know diddly about maintenance though so look their trucks over carefully. There also are now a fair qty of M925 series 5t (Cummins/Allison/3man cab early 80s vintage) coming into the DOD surplus system. And now beginning to see some M925A1 series (supersingles, mid/late 80s vintage). The military is getting rid of all the M923 (including A1/A2/A3) and older series 5t and replacing with FMTV 6x6 so will be many good 5t available over the next few years. Many of the M923 series will now have the goofy looking Iraq armor cab (w/aircond.).
Lots of VERY good duece (2 1/3t) available but the limited water load should be considered. Limit to no more than around 600gal. But GVWR may be an issue in your state for duece vs 5t. If you look hard and are lucky you may be able to get your hands on a M35A3 (late 90s rebuild with CAT, Allison, supersingles, full air brakes, central tire inflation system).
I'd recommend the 5t however. And look for an M925 or better yet M925A1

Unique and universally-inspired tapas have made Lazy Ox Canteen the latest Downtown seat worth fighting for. But what spurred chef Josef Centeno's shift from high-end restaurants like Opus, Lot 1, and Meson G to his own global izakaya in Little Tokyo? "My whole background is fine dining. But when I moved to L.A. I realized that fine dining wasn't the way to go or the direction the diner wanted to go," he tells Downtown News, "I thought that there's got to be a way to cook at the same level and use the same ingredients and technique, but at a more approachable price range." French country pig's feet and beef neck a la taco truck soon were soon to follow.

I think that the EJ20G already has forged Rods so it already can handle a bit more than the USDM model...so all you have to worry about is crushing a piston...if you all want to break 400whp on a EJ20 I would recommend 20G, GT12, or a GT30 with Methanol Injection. What type of Engine Management are you all using?
hey off topic but you have a skyline r32 right? must be nice to get skylines where you live. how many people over there run the rb30 block with the rb26 heads?
sweet man thats awsome..for real though the skyline is seriously my dream car and i will own one even if i can only park it in my garage. Its very bad to have one here in cali because of all the laws you cannot legaly own one here and drive it on the streets. I have however owned well half a skyline haha. I had a nissan 240sx and i swapped with with a RB20 actually out of a cefiero(sp?) from australia.. I would give my pinky toe to own a skyline preferably an r34 or the r32! Yeah ive never seen the hybrid block but ive heard of people running them on my 240sx forum. A new company made an all bolt on kit to run the awd on a 240sx but still not a skyline in anyway just at heart..
im not sure about all the states but for awhile i was hearing that we could only DOT appove the R33 in the states and ive never been a fan of that model.. Its shitty though because you need to crash something like 3 skylines to make 1 legal. Motorex was doing it for awhile but he is in jail now and the company is closed. |
No ones ever known anyone to blow a EJ20G motor? Most forums are full of story's (unfortunately hehehe) Surely people have crack a ring land or two, split a liner, spat a head gasket, thrown a rod??? Serious, any information would be reeally helpful!! |
I have seen a lot of crushed Pistons from over boosting and the mis-use of Nitrous...

Doughnut French Toast
My weaknesses are mainly savoury - think salt and vinegar crisps/potato chips or cheese and biscuits/crackers - but there are times when[ only a doughnut will do. This can get desperate late at night when the shops are shut, and even if they weren't, none of them sell the kind of doughnuts I dream of. This is my way of assuaging my appetite, appeasing my need or, perhaps more accurately, feeding my addiction. Hot chocolate on the side is always worth considering, but just - just! - by itself this is sublime succour.]

Loving the Life that Is
This is the narrative's central theme, as developed and manifest in the story of its central character and protagonist, Rebecca Davitch. At the beginning of the book, she realizes she is discontented with what her life has become (see "Quotes", p. 1). As the story unfolds, Rebecca struggles to turn her life into what she believes it could and/or should be, putting particular effort into reconnecting with a person and a past that she recalls as being rich with dreams and potential for fulfillment. In other words, she strives to recapture, and reconnect with, the life that was, as opposed to exploring and / or celebrating the value of the life that is. As she pursues reconnection with her past, she encounters a series of increasingly troubling disappointments, but continues her efforts in spite of mounting evidence that they are proving fruitless while, at the...

On a new server I just copied over an account that has a few password protected directories and they've quit working. I deleted the .htaccess and .htpasswd files and recreated them and it's still not letting anybody log in. I created a brand new account and created a password protected directory and I'm still getting the same issue. http://www.webhostingboard.net/test/ username is test and password is test - you can verify this. Any suggestions?
Can you double check that the user that Apache run as can access the password file? sudo -u nobody cat <path_to_.htpasswd>
Excellent - it seems the script we run to fix home directory permissions set it to user.user for .htpasswds when it needed to be user.nobody - modified the script and re-running it now to resolve all of these issues. Thank you so much.
Just in case anybody needs this in the future on a cPanel server: Code: #!/bin/bash for user in `/bin/ls /var/cpanel/users`; do echo "Fixing permissions for account: ${user}" chown -R ${user}.${user} /home/${user} chown ${user}.nobody /home/${user}/public_html chown -R ${user}.mail /home/${user}/etc chown ${user}.nobody /home/${user}/.htpasswds/ done Add this in fixhomepermissions.sh and then set it to chmod 755 and run "sh fixhomepermissions.sh"

I walked out to Colman Pool on the ebb and saw the last remnants of the pink horde on the west side of the point tossing their bombs. One lone flyfisher was fishing the east side. Soon the tide slacked and everyone left save me and one gearfisher. It should be noted that I did not see any signs of bait (if there were, I wouldn't have napped). An hour into the flood, a small school of coho showed up. The gearfisher hooked two and landed one hatchery fish of 7-8 lbs. I had two massive bow wakes track both my searun and coho poppers. The fish turned away as their bellies scraped sand at my feet. Will be back again today to see if the run is legit. Leland. The floodtide setting up:
Nothing like some top water action even if there is no hookup. Pretty exciting/heart stopping event! Can best be described by these words: "Wow, oh my gosh"! Roger
It is so much more active. Even when blind casting, you're still working the popper back with your strips provoking the slash or follow! Leland.
Hey Leland, That was me yesterday with the Linekurv stripping basket. Dang! Can't believe they decided to show up after I left. Good to hear though. Jason
I was also out yesterday morning (near the gear guys) for about an hour and a half before work, left at 8a. Had one really long follow and a hit on a popper. Saw several coho and SRC jump. Really not a bad way to start the day!
Nothing early this morning, unfortunately had to leave by 8:15am. Perhaps high ebb is not the best at LP?
Well, as the old saying goes, "you shoulda been here yesterday." I was and it was a lot better than today. Leland.
I was there early today, and early on Wednesday. A couple of follows, but nothing as exciting as Leland's experience. All poppers, all the time. Leland, I was wondering if you'd been to LP yet this year. I haven't smelled any cigar smoke there at all! Tom
I hear you. My dad and uncle limited on nice coho Thursday afternoon south of Bush Point. We went out today and only heard crickets chirping. No fish around today.
I spent a few hours this evening at LP. Slow for everybody, including me. I had one nice boil behind a popper right before dark, but that was it. One question: With the popper, do most of you use a a cinch knot, or a non-slip knot with a small loop? Does it affect the action that much? I have tried both, but haven't seen anything that sways my opinion yet. I have more confidence in the strength of my cinch knots, but I'm curious about a 2nd opinion.
Thanks for the input! I will continue to try the non slip consistently & hopefully report back in hopes of an improvement on numbers.
I'm new to Seattle as a longtime trout fisherman from the Rockies. I've been out at LP a lot lately trying to learn a new craft and finally got my first one this morning using a neon green over pink clouser. Amazing experience! Brandon
Fished it last week and yesterday. Had follows, strong boils, and even a nip or too on the M. Popper, but none to hand. Saw the occasional fish caught by both gear and fly guys, all during the hour or so I'd spend there between 7 and 8. Pretty nice, living just up the hill. The fish are there for sure--I bet this lasts a couple more weeks.

DIY: Penny Countertop
Update: January 6, 2012. We built the penny countertop for my friend's store, Shop Adorn. On January 2, 2012, an electrical fire burned everything inside. Read about it here.
My friend, Nicole, is expanding her Portland boutique and decided to go with an eco-industrial decor for the new location. We've both been scouring Pinterest for ideas and she fell in love with the penny countertops and flooring.
I found an amazing step by step guide which provides a complete run down on materials, timing and instructions. We did make some small changes such as using only one coat of resin but our surface didn't need to be kitchen counter-grade.
It's hard to know exactly how many pennies you're going to need unless you're able to do math (ahem, cough cough). We eyeballed it and fell short by around $30 worth which necessitated several trips to the bank.
Then we needed to prep the pennies which were washed and half were then rinsed in Tarn-X and then laid out to dry.
Note: after spreading them out to dry from the Tarn-X, make sure the pennies aren't stacked on top of each or they will turn green. In our case, Nicole loved the aged patina of the green so it was a happy coincidence.
Laying them out on the countertop was surprisingly quick (took us less than 4 hours). We didn't have a design in mind - just a varied mix of dark and burnished. And we threw in a few Canadian pennies here and there for fun. I think there's close to $60-70 worth of pennies here.
Right before we poured the resin.
We bought a lot of extra plastic containers for mixing and Ethan labeled them to eliminate mistakes. Those resin gallon containers on the left were $150 for the pair which was enough for exactly one layer.
We were too busy spreading and smoothing out the resin to take any photos in action! The focus was on covering the pennies and nooks and crannies. We used clean cardboard to spread the resin - oddly similar to spreading icing on a cake. Luckily, the resin took care of the leveling so that wasn't a concern.
The next stage recommended a blow torch to get out the thousands of tiny bubbles. It was a little nerve wracking before Ethan lit the torch but nothing went up in flames (pun not intended!).
And then a few hours of "pop the bubble" with some finishing nails. While the blowtorch took care of the tiny bubbles, it wasn't as useful for bubbles that gradually appeared as each penny slowly settled, releasing a pocket of air. This took place over a period of several hours so it was just a game of patience. And oddly relaxing. But it could have just been the fumes at this point.
In the end, it was exactly what Nicole wanted: a completely custom, unique, beautiful cash wrap. It looks like it's illuminated from below.
And now, I know how to make a penny countertop from start to finish! For those of you who are interested, this didn't really take all that long.
Time-line Breakdown:
Prepping the countertop: 2-3 hours. Ethan installed some crown molding around the edges that also served as a lip to contain the resin. The counter was already black so we didn't have to paint it.
Prepping the pennies: 30 minutes to wash and a few hours to dry (do this overnight so they're dry in the morning).
Arranging the pennies: 4 hours for the 2 of us laughing and taking breaks to eat.
Resin mixing, pouring and spreading: 30-45 minutes.
Resin smoothing: About 20-30 minutes with the blowtorch and then about a few hours just periodically popping new bubbles.
And then you wait 24-36 hours for the resin to cure and you're done! Unless you want another layer. From start to finish, I think the three of us spent 2 days working on it with all the everyday normal interruptions.
Things that we learned too late:
1. Make sure to buy enough pennies in advance. Banks only stock around $40 worth of pennies and they are loathe to give them all to one person.
2. Seal off any areas where the resin might leak through. Because it will leak. Eep. If in doubt over a joint, use clear caulk. Definitely, definitely use caulk.
3. Don't let Ethan choose the radio station. ;)
4. A sense of humor and patience is a must. Actually, we knew this in advance. Just reiterating!
And here's the finished countertop in its new space - Shop Adorn.

Hi Ali! I updated the post to include the duration information. It actually didn't take us all that long - about 2 days from start to finish (not including drying time)
It was a relatively small time commitment considering the huge impact! I was intimidated at first but now, I'd encourage everyone to try it!Thanks everyone! We were all really pleased and surprised by how well it turned out since we were just winging it half the time.
Megan ~ I really enjoyed helping her. If you lived closer, I'd help you clean out Kend's computer room. LOL.
Linda ~ Surprisingly, the resin didn't smell that much and I hardly noticed it. Nicole hasn't mentioned any residual smell but the place is fairly large and well ventilated. I heard that the optional layer of polyurethane is the really smelly one but we skipped that.
I was thinking that if one wanted to try this on a smaller scale, a penny serving tray might be a manageable project.Your project is so fantastic that I featured it this week at my Hookin Up with HoH Link Party!
Feel free to stop on by and grab a button!
Allison @ House of HepworthsThis is AMAZING!!!! I absolutely LOVE it and am so jealous - I desperately want something like this because it's just so gorgeous and wonderful! : )
-Mel the Crafty ScientistI love this idea, and I can see it would work beautifully for this application, but my past experience with resin makes me wonder how well this would actually work for a kitchen countertop. I guess if you are very careful you could do it, but I know mine would be scratched, stained, and burned within a month! Too bad, cause I really love the looks.

This is totally amazing! I have been looking for a different kind of countertop but this is really cool.
ReplyDelete I have gone through your blog and found some awesome work done by you. thanks for sharing the information. keep up the good work!
Joseph @ Kitchen BenchtopsHello, I am thinking of doing this in my rv. It looks like on the edges there are pennies cut in half. Did you guys have to cut pennies?
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool project. Thanks for sharing. As editor of a countertop-related website www.CountertopResource.com I thought I had seen it all, but this one is new to me. Would you be interested in us reposting this article on our website? let me know. you can email me at email@example.com. Thanks - Brian
ReplyDeleteDid you glue the pennies down before pouring the resin? That would probably help with the bubbles, right? quartz countertops vancouver

I need to export our Sales Prices table. I have tried using the Data Migration tool, but it times out every time. It is a large file (591592 records). Is there anything else I can use? I've tried Jet Reports as well and I have the same problem.
Split the records by adding some filter and try
like yearly or 6 months..
Your best option here would be to use a dataport to drop all the records into a CSV this would run in minutes where the migration tool would take hours to run
You will need someone who knows how to use the object designer in the classic client to do this though, if you have someone and this is still an issue let me know and i will send you instructions on how to do it

Hi Nev,
Thanks for the reply. I've messed around a little bit with the Object Designer, but I have no idea how to create anything. I would love to learn, but in the meantime I went the long way around and filtered by letter. It was quite annoying and took forever, but I eventually got it finished. I would still love to look at the instructions though. :o)
First off, only use this for exporting records, when importing you need to set up the validation and can miss something and cause yourself a ton of drama, but for exporting records it is a lifesaver
The next thing is that most NAV licences are sold with some extra objects available in the 50 000 range, and secondly you will need the dataport designer in your licence (Depending on your licence this could be in many places so just try and see if it complains but i would expect it to work)
This has a lot of steps but when you follow it you will see it is actually really simple so don't be put off by it looking complicated, we regularly teach this process to our clients to make them more self sufficient
-Fire up the classic client and open the object designer
-Click on the dataport option on the right
-Have a look on the list for an available number (There is nothing there already) starting at 50 000 and going up (So 50 000 if available, otherwise 50001 if available / 50002 etc)
-Click NEW button on the bottom right
-In the window that opens look up the table you want to export (Sales Price for example - You can type it in in this case because we know the name exactly)
-Click on View -> Dataport Fields
-Dont do anything with the window that opens and immediately click View -> Field Menu
-On the little window that pops up click in the block in the top right of the window to highlight everything (Like you would do in Excel)
-Then click on the form that is open in the background and the system will ask "Do you want to add the fields"
-Say yes and the list will appear
-Keep pressing Escape on your keyboard until you get a message asking if you want to save
-Say yes,
-Type the available number that you got in the first step, for example 50000 and a name for you port "Export Sales Prices"
-You will now see it on the object designer
-Highlight the line and click run (Bottom Right)
-On the options Tab at the top specify "Export" and give it a file name
-Press the OK button and it will create a file
This file will have a TXT extension however it can be renames to CSV or just opened in Excel and it will display in columns
Let me know how it goes and if you run into any issues
I tried it first thing this morning, but had one error:
The operating system cannot access to the file "Sales Prices 22113"
Verify that the file type and attributes are correct
I'm on Windows 7 Professional
Not sure what happened.
Any suggestions?
Okay, nevermind. I just rebooted my whole PC and now it works perfect. Weird.
Thank you so much!
Great stuff, happy it works, it makes getting data out a heck of a lot faster

Analytical solution of the depth-averaged flow velocity in case of submerged rigid cylindrical vegetation
Huthoff, Fredrik and Augustijn, Denie C.M. and Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (2007) Analytical solution of the depth-averaged flow velocity in case of submerged rigid cylindrical vegetation. Water resources research, 43 (6). W06413. ISSN 0043-1397
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 277kB |
Abstract: | A new model for the depth-averaged velocity for flow in presence of submerged vegetation is developed. The model is based on a two-layer approach, where flow above and through the vegetation layer is described separately. Vegetation is treated as a homogeneous field of identical cylindrical stems, and the flow field is considered stationary and uniform. It is demonstrated that scaling considerations of the bulk flow field can be used to avoid complications associated with smaller scale flow processes and that still the behavior of depth-averaged flow over vegetation is described accurately. The derived scaling expression of the average flow field is simple in form, it follows fundamental laws of fluid flow, and it shows very good agreement with laboratory flume experiments. The new model can be used for quick evaluation of a river's hydraulic response in cases where vegetated floodplains are inundated. |

01 September 2010
I've been able to spend more time at home this week, adjusting to the silence without getting upset. As such, I've was able to finish latest block for the Mid Mod Bee. This is for Jess:
I made this block for a charity project for the Brighton Modern Quilt Guild:
And a few more kelp quilt strips came in the mail, making it more and more fun to look at the clothesline strung behind my bed.
I love having these out where I can see them. It started as a way to keep them from being crushed, but now I think I'm going to set up a permanent design wall in my living room. Also, I start a full time job next week and its going to necessitate me crafting in dribs and drabs, rather than in lengthy sessions. I think having a design wall will keep the dribs and drabs coming quickly.
Can anyone comment on the relative effectiveness of flannel vs. quilt batting? I want the blocks/fabric to stick to that wall and not go floating off behind the couch.
14 comments:
I use 100% cotton batting and it works like a charm. The only time anything comes off it is when I have my ceiling fan going at full tilt. One draw back? After time tt ends up covered in a ton of tiny threads... but I can't speak to if the flannel does that too.
That kelp quilt is gonna be something else!i love the idea of hanging those colorful strips on a line with clothespins behind your bed. they're so colorful too!
i've used warm & natural (brand) batting for years in the various places i've lived as a design wall. i just cut out a portion to suit the size of the blank wall that is available and nail it up there. i dont have any problems of fabric every falling off, unless you have an air vent blowing directly on it, then it might be an issue.
and when you're done with it, when you take it down you can still use it as batting for a quilt!!I have had a pale gray flannel wall up for 5 years. It is from ceiling to floor, and was made by sewing 2 widths of the flannel together, so basically covers a whole wall. I recently took it down and moved it to my new sewing room...son moved out. I use push pins on the top and flat thumb tacks on the sides and bottom. I use the push pins on the top so I can use the ring and clip type curtain hangers on the protruding push pins to hang finished quilts to photograph. Occasionally I need to put a straight pin in some blocks if they have many small pieces an seams that want to push them off the wall, or if I forget and turn the fan on high, duh, VBG. usually there is not a problem keeping blocks or even rows or tops up. I am a very slow quiltmaker and sometimes projects are up there for quite a while.
I've just found your blog, so will have to spend some time looking around, but love the kelp project. good luck with your new job.

Gainesville's Environmental Film and Arts Festival Focuses on Becoming More "Green"
GAINESVILLE- An event aimed at celebrating nature and teaching the community how to become more "green" wrapped up Sunday at the Gainesville Depot Center. The fifth annual, "Environmental Film and Arts Festival," was put together by volunteers and featured food, art, films, and music from local and international aritsts. The festival raised awareness about environmental concerns and boosted support for local businesses and organizations working toward a healthier future.
Cinema Verde Director Trish Riley said, "The truth can be painful but we need to know that and that is why we're doing this. People need to understand what pollution is going to do to us and how, you know, the fact, that we can't live with dirty water and dirty air so we got to fix those things."
